<br /> _ . Conditions Where Practice Applies•
<br /> This practice applies ~ where: (1) An overall waste management system has been
<br /> planned;. (2) waste .is generated by agricultural production or processing; (3)
<br /> (
<br /> ,_storage is_ necessary to properly manage the waste; and (4) soils and topo-
<br /> graphy are suitable for construction.
<br /> This practice shall not be installed until the necessary components for a
<br /> waste management-system have been determined. This includes the following
<br /> - items: (1) control of surface runoff upstream and downstream from animal
<br /> •
<br /> - .lots, (2) area required and the area available for spreading wastes, (3) need
<br /> for filter-strips, (4) period or interval between times pond is emptied, and
<br /> (5) equipment needed to fill and empty the pond and apply wastes to the land. _ _
<br /> Planning Considerations
<br /> Location. Waste storage ponds should be located as close to the source of
<br /> waste and polluted runoff as practicable. Due consideration shall be given to
<br /> economics, the overall waste management plan, and health and safety factors.
<br /> The ponds should be located where prevailing winds, vegetative screening, and -
<br /> • building arrangement minimize odor and visual resource problems. Nonpolluted
<br /> runoff shall be excluded to the fullest extent possible.
